today we are taking you for Japanese fusion food here in Peru. AKA Nikkei food. I think it is a sushi buffet to be honest. A maki buffet. A sushi buffet. And this is your cousins and her boyfriends favorite place to go eat. We asked them where they wanted to go and they said here (Oceanika Restaurante Fusion & Sushi Bar) and so we’re just going to probably get a buffet and devour a tonne of food. And this is the gang.

Well the food has arrived. And we’re going to get an explanation from an expert.

This one is smoked salmon. Smoked salmon and inside we have avocado, cream cheese and shrimp. That looks awesome. This one is the same but inside is salmon. And it is fried. Fried okay. And the third one is grilled bacon. Grilled roll. And inside we have bacon. Bacon. Guys bacon for the win. Who likes bacon? That is not Japanese. That is the fusion coming in. That is the fusion. That is the Nikkei. Yes, that is Nikkei. That is the Nikkei. And the last one is Acevichado. That is the most local one right? Yeah, that is the local one. So how would you describe that one? It is like lemon with mayonnaise. Mayonnaise yeah. And we have salmon on the top with cucumber inside.

Okay you know what since we’re at a fusion restaurant there is a lot of Peruvian twists yep with this sushi so you need to try the one that has the Lomo Saltado. Where is that? Which is beef. It is not fish it has beef and like fried onions. Look at that on top of it. Yeah that is like one of the typical dishes of Peru. Lomo saltado. In sushi form. And it is crispy in the inside too. So good. Like this is just like next level maki. I’m loving this place. I can see why Luciana and Georgie think it is their favorite restaurant.
